CHAPTER 198

At first, she felt her heart stop beating as her brain tried to make sense of what was happening.

But when he called out her name, her brain was calculating and thinking at an alarming rate at that moment and her heart was beating wildly in her chest.

'No, this is not happening. Not again.' Her heart clenched as a forgotten memory replayed in her head. The image of Duan Tian and Li Xiu fucking their brains out flashed before her eyes and what she did next had shocked Ye Cheng and Ru Mei Xing.

"AAHH!" She screamed and then held her head with both hands.

"Li Jing." Ye Cheng immediately sprang up and was about running to her side when she stopped and looked up at him. He could see that her eyes had become completely red and full of pain.

It had made his heart tighten as he understood her pain. Before he could say anything more, Liu Jing turned around and ran away.

"Li Jing." He stretched out his hand, ready to follow her but then when he got to the door he realized he was on his boxers and stopped, watching her scurry away down the stairs.

"Ye Cheng wait. Do not go."

The witch just had to speak. For a minute there he had forgotten she was actually existing but she just had to open her mouth to talk.

His once pained eyes turned completely cold and he marched up to where she was and pulled her up with force then dragged her out of his room.

In the process, she ended up stepping on a shard of broken glass and wounding herself but Ye Cheng did not care one bit and slammed the door shut, leaving the injured and shocked Ru Mei Xing outside.

"AARRGHHH! Damn it! Ye Cheng!"

He was pissed at himself for falling stupidly into Ru Mei Xing's trap.

"No!" He screamed again and ruffled his hair before looking for his clothes and wearing them.

~TANG RESIDENCE~

A car pulled up in the Tang residence and one of the men dressed in a black suit hurried to the passenger's part of the car and pulled it open.

Tang Zixin stepped out from the car and handed his briefcase to the man before walking towards the entrance of the mighty Tang Mansion.

He inherited the family's business from a younger age when his father died in a car accident and his mother died months later due to the grief.

It was only his grandmother he had but she too died last year, leaving him with just his cousins, uncles and aunts.

But as the first grandchild, he alone occupied the Tang Family house.

"Welcome master," One of the maids greeted with a bow and paved the way for him to pass through.

Every other servants and worker in the house greeted him with a bow as he walked pass by.

"Young master." A young voice called out and Tang Zixin turned around to see who it was. It was one of the sons of a servant there.

She had three kids, two boys and a girl, with the young boy that called him being the last born. He was just about five years old and Tang Zixin was very fond of the kid.

"Little Zixin," Tang Zixin called the young lad and bent down to scoop him up into his arms. Seeing the master's widened hands, the young boy pried his hand free from the head butler's hand and ran into Tang Zixin's waiting hands.

"Hahha ahaha hahaha. Welcome." Little Zixin giggled and squirmed in Tang Zixin's hands as the young master tickled him silly.

Tang Zixin had been so kind to the maid that was why she named her last born after him and he was as lively and kind as the young master.

"Welcome, Master Tang," the head butler, Sao Dong greeted him with a warm smile. He loved the fact that Tang Zixin was always happy even after losing so much at a young age.

"Yes, thank you. Did Little Zixin miss me?"

"What does young master thinks?" Little Zixin asked. His face was full of smiles and laughter as he watched Tang Zixin put up a thoughtful face.

"Huh, Little Zixin wants Big Zixin to guess, but big Zixin cannot guess. Regardless, since big Zixin did not miss Little Zixin, I guess little Zixin as well."

Hearing his words, the little boy's expression changed and he became sad. "But Little Zixin miss young master very much that little Zixin cried and did not eat till mama threatened little Zixin to report if young master returned."

Awwnnn! Tang Zixin was overly joyed and touched by the affection he was getting.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Ask Grandpa Sao." Tang Zixin peeled his gaze from the puffed cheek child and looked at Sao Gong.

Sao Gong nodded his answer at the young master with his smile still on his face.

"Wow! If that is so, big Zixin is very glad." He was expecting that the young lad would be happy since he was glad but he got a saddened face instead. "What is wrong, tell me?"

"Big Zixin did not miss little Zixin." Tang Zixin knew he hurt the boy as he only referred to him as Big Zixin when he was mad at him and not as young master.

"What do you think?" The kid refused to answer and Tang Zixin's smile only widened. "Of course I missed you so much. I was only kidding with you. Don't be mad. If I didn't miss you, would I remember to get you a present from my trip?"

"Young master got little Zixin a gift?"

"Yes." The child's smile returned and he hugged Tang Zixin's neck tightly. "Hehhe, I know you would love it. Grandpa Sao would take you outside to see your gift. It is in the boot of the car."

"Yayy! Thank you. Sorry, little Zixin doesn't have a gift to give but I would get you something too."

"Really? Okay, I would be expecting it. But you do not have to, okay?" he ruffled the boy's hair and set him down. "I'll be in my room." He directed those words to Sao Gong as he made to leave.

"Master, there is an envelope from the hospital on your desk in your study," Sao Gong informed him.

"Oh, thank you. I have been expecting that. Thanks." Without saying anything more to them, he looked up towards the staircase and walked away.

"Grandpa Sao, let us go get the gift," Little Zixin said, pulling Sao Gong with him to get his gift.

Tang Zixin shook his head as he left. He could see himself in the young child and he reminded him of when he was young.

In no time, he got to the third floor where his room and the main study was. Rather than heading for the master's bedroom, he turned left and walked to the silver door there.

He turned the doorknob open after unlocking it and once inside, his eyes landed on the single envelope seated atop his desk.

He took in a deep breath before walking to his desk and picking it up. "Time to know the truth."
